So after the last post, the most frequently asked question was: how did I do it? First off, I didn't diet! To be more accurate I made a lifestyle change. I started really analyzing the food I was eating and how much of it I was actually eating. I took the philosophy of calories in need to be less than calories out. So I started to watch portion sizes and really upped my intake of fruits and vegetables instead of chips and cookies. I didn't want to diet because they don't work in the long run. Typically people lose weight on a diet, but then they gain it back and more. So I didn't want to have a yo-yo effect with my weight.
The second thing I did was exercise more. I've become sort of an exercise junkie to be honest. I need to get my fix in at least once a day. I typically walk, dance, lift weights and do yoga a few times a week. Anyone interested in doing a high aerobic workout should definitely try a Bollywood dance class!!
So between the eating better and exercise I was able to shed a few pounds.
